Hyaluronic acid（HA） and Chitosan（CS） were successfully admixed with Ca^2＋/alginate（SA） gel system to produce SA/HA/CS gel beads by dual crosslinking： the ionic gelation and the polyelectrolyte complexation. The preparation procedure was that the weight ratio of SA（2%, m/v） to HA（2%, m/v） was kept at 2：1, then the mixture was dripped into the Ca^2＋ solution for ion-crosslinking, and finally polyelectrolyte crosslinked with 2% low molecular weight CS（LMW-CS） for 1.5 hours. The optimal formulation was achieved by adjusting the concentration and the weight ratio of SA, HA and LMW-CS. Due to the incorporation of HA and LMWCS, the swelling ratio of the beads at pH 7.4 was increased up to 120, and the time for the maximum swelling degree was prolonged to 7.5 h. The swelling behavior was obviously improved compared to the pure SA/Ca^2＋ system. The preliminary results clearly suggest that the SA/HA/CS gel beads may be a potential candidate for biomedical delivery vehicles.展开更多

In the present study, calcium-induced alginate gel beads (Alg-Ca) containing weak acid salts of β-CS were prepared and examined with regard to their ability to adsorb bile acids in vitro. More than 70% of taurocholate dissolved in solution was taken up by Alg-Ca containing 100 mg β-CS, sim. ilar to the degree of uptake observed with Alg-Ca containing α-CS salt. The adsorption of bile acid was affected by the absolute amount of β-CS and/or the acid concentration of the preparation. A secondary bile acid, taurodeoxycholate, was also adsorbed by Alg-Ca containing weak acid salts of β-CS. Therefore, β-CS might be used to adsorb bile acids within the gastrointestinal tract in the same manner as an anion-exchange resin, and thus serve as a complementary means by which to prevent hyperlipidemia.展开更多

Chitosan( CS) was used to graft onto pretreated PET fibers by sol-gel method. The transformations of surface chemical structure,microcosmic morphology and thermodynamic property were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy( FTIR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy( XPS), scanning electron microscope( SEM), X-ray diffraction technique( XRD), and thermo gravimetric analysis( TGA),respectively. The wettability and antistatic property of PET fiber were significantly improved after modification by SE and CS.展开更多

Addition of a fixation agent composed of alcohol, glycerol and potassium hydroxide can accelerate the sol-gel transformation process and hence shorten the preparation period. The present method takes about 6 h to get a flexible membrane with fine appearance, The physical and biological properties of the membrane were also investigated and compared with the membrane prepared by conventional method.展开更多

METHODS: 96 SD rats with injured vermiform process were randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: group A without any treatment as control, group B treated with chitosan gel, group C treated with pure chitosan film and group D treated with chiston film containing 50% gelatin. 2 and 4 weeks after surgery, 12 rats in each group were respectively belly opened to observe chitosan degradation and evaluate peritoneal adhesion, and the adhesive vermiform processes tissues were histopathologically observed. RESULTS: 1.Degradation in the group D was faster than that in the group C but slower than that in the group B. 2. 2 weeks after surgery the adhesion in the group B was milder than that in the control group(goup A) (P<0.05), but that in the group C and D (both P<0.05) were more severe than that in the control group . 3. 4 weeks after surgery , the adhesion in the group B was milder than that in the control group (P<0.05), but that in the group C and D (both P<0.05) were more severe than that in the control group , whereas, there was no significant difference between adhesion in the group C and group D (P>0.05). 4.Histopathological examinaiton indicated that: 2 weeks after surgery ,inflammatory cell infiltration and fibroplastic proliferation dominated in local lesion and the response was most severe on the serous coat, furthermore, the response in the control group was more severe than that in the group B, but milder than that in the group C and D; 4 weeks after surgery, fibroplastic proliferation dominated in local lesion in each group , moreover, the response in the control group was more severe than that in the group B but milder than that in the group C and D. What’s more, integrated fibrous membrane formed around implanted materials in the group C and D, and the fibrous membranes were thinner in the group C than that in the group D. CONCLUSION: 1.Chitosan gel has perfect effect in protecting traumatic peritoneal adhesion in rats. 2.Pure chitosan film could exacerbate peritoneal adhesion and chitosan containing gelatin could exacerbate peritoneal adhesion further.展开更多
